“Despite a ramp being available, staff presumed Ms Landre didn’t want one”
How is that just one throwaway sentence under one of the images and not explained in any more detail. What does that mean? How available? Why did they assume she wouldn’t want it? Does she know a ramp was available?
"After being told she wouldn’t be able to receive her award onstage like the other recipients, the 25-year-old said she was “in shock and trying to figure out what to do”.
So, no she didn’t. From the rest of the article, it looks like that was information that only came out later, when some lowly fact-checker called in order to set the caption. Or it’s not true and was made up by the person writing the caption.

Especially odd to mention the availability of a ramp under a picture of her motioning to stairs.
It’s clearly a backfitted excuse.
